You have to get those widescreen which support 1:1 scaling..
Else you can't do anything others than seeing your game being stretch which is farking ugly.
If the widecreen LCD does support 1:1 scaling, then yes, 2 black bar will be shown at left and right when you are playing games that doesn't support widescreen..

Mine Dell 228WFP doesn't support 1:1 scaling..And now I have to buy another 19" LCD for non-widescreen purpose..
